Princeton Glee Club
Concert Tomorrow
Attracts Interest
Much Entertaining to Accompany
Program to Be Presented in
Shoreham Ballroom. j
By PHYLLIS THOMPSON.
FOR some years now Washington has been deprived the pleasure
of witnessing the Princeton Triangle show, though Harvard’s
Hasty Pudding Club has graced the Nation's Capital with its
presence. However, the next best thing to the Triangle—and to
many even preferred—the Princeton University Glee Club will i
descend upon us tomorrow. In the middle of the afternoon bari
tones, basses, tenors et al. will debark at the Union Station and
immediately will proceed to the University Club, where a cocktail
party has been arranged in their honor.
The arrival here of a group of college boys at all times is a
welcome event. Debutantes and subdebutantes will be assembled
to give the visitors a big time and incidentally to enjoy the silver
tones of the carefully selected voices of this group. The concert
will take place in the west ballroom of the Shoreham at 8:45
tomorrow evening, with dinners preceding it given by hosts and
hostesses with Princeton affiliations.
A Dance Will Follow the
Concert Tomorrow Night.
The festivities do not end with the last note of the last encore,
for a dance will follow the concert at the Shoreham. A group of
prominent Washington women proudly claiming Princeton as their
very own, by devious ways through husbands, sons, brothers and
fathers, have accepted to act as patronesses.
On the list appears the name.of Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
wife of the Secretary of the Treasury, also Countess van der
Straten-Ponthoz, wife of the Belgian Ambassador, whose son com
pleted his education at Princeton; Mrs. Harrison Brand, jr.; Mrs.
Victor Whitlock, Mrs. William J. Flather, jr.; Mrs. Rudolph Max
Kauffmann, Mrs. Breckinridge Long, wife of former United States
Ambassador to Italy, who can rightly claim Old Nassau; Mrs. Henry
Latrobe Roosevelt, Mrs. Charles R. Train, Mrs. Gist Blair, Mrs.
John F. Wilkins, Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Mrs. James F. Mitchell, Mrs.
Swagar Sherley, Mrs. Herbert L. Willet, jr., and Mrs. Norman Under
wood.
Young Ladies Chosen for
Reception Committee. *
Attractive debutantes and post-debutantes have been selected
to act on the reception committee of the dance, which will follow
the recital. The chairmen include a debutante of this season and
one of last year, namely, Miss Alice Barry, daughter of Maj. and
Mrs. David S. Barry, who made her bow to society at one of this
season’s biggest and best balls at the Sulgrave Club, and Miss Anne
Child, delightful daughter of Mrs.' Edmund W. Pavenstedt. The
members of their committee are Miss Ruth Dove, Miss Eleanor
Flood, Miss Nancy Brereton, Miss Constance Child, Miss Margot
Garrett, Miss Austine McDonald, Miss Martha Bacon and the
Misses Anne and Eleanor Meem.
Three Members of Club
Well Known Here.
Three members of the glee club
In particular will find many familiar
faces in the audience, ince a visit to
the District of Columbia for them is a
case of “coming back home.” They
are Frank MacMurray, son of Mr. John

Ambassador to Turkey and Mrs. Mur

Mrs. Victor Whitlock and Harrison

a fourth, Henry Morgenthau, 3rd., son
of the Secretary of the Treasury and
Mrs. Morgenthau, for he is one of
Princeton’s songbirds, but unfortunate
ly, he will not be able to be present.

are scheduled to appear and their
